Looking for a warm mid-toned matte grey

I don't care how much it is. Well, I mean, twenty dollars is my limit. I was thinking something kind of like what Kristen Stewart is wearing in the wedding scene in Breaking Dawn. Something not terribly pigmented, which is why I say mid-toned, which I can blend out well. :) Thanks in advance!

Wedge is more of a light brown...

Yeah, wedge is too brown, and too light. I'm looking for something more pigmented, and more grey. :)

MAC Copperplate, or MAC Quarry (quarry is definitely on the warm side, probably a greyed plum? sort of...). Copperplate is slightly cool, at least in my opinion, but it blends beautifully! Good luck finding a warm grey, seems like a tough task!

I'm SURE that at least about 9 million people have re-created her makeup look since that is such a big scene from such a big movie. If you do a little looking around online at beauty blogs, I'm sure you could find a tutorial or two with some color recommendations. I would actually love to know if you find any, I struggle with wanting a "warmer" gray and silver all the time, they always seem to look too blue on me. Good luck :)

Try Inglot's 387. It's one of the freedom palette shadows. It's the perfect matte grey. And it's only $5 :)

349 looks more warm based to me. If I do happen to buy an inglot shadow, I think that would be the one. :) Thanks for your input.

I'm glad you found Copperplate, it's such a perfect colour. Definitely on the warmer side of grey, since most traditional greys pull quite blue on me.

Also.. I find that Wedge and even Cork pull grey on me. It's quite odd, undertone interference I suppose.

I'm glad I found copperplate as well. And maybe it is an undertone thing. I think I might swatch these colors and see which one works best and is what I want. At the mac counter of course. :P If it's not too swamped, it just opened, lol. :)
